As part of the European interregional partnership Go4Cosmetics, the Centre-Val de Loire and Lombardy regions organized a conference to discuss the future of the European cosmetics industry, with the support of COSMETIC VALLEY, and REI - Reindustria Innovazione, development and coordinator of the Lombardy Cosmetics System.

The event was hosted by the European Committee of the Regions in Brussels on Monday July 3, in the presence of European institutions and players in the cosmetics industry.

Today, the industry wishes to draw the attention of the European institutions to its challenges and to the need to be considered as a priority industry. Indeed, while some sectors of the cosmetics industry value chain are recognized as key industries by the EU, the cosmetics industry as a whole is not yet part of the 14 European priority industrial ecosystems. European programs do not target the cosmetics industry as an application sector, which considerably limits access to funding. This lack of recognition therefore has direct impacts on academic and industrial players.

On July 3, the cosmetic ecosystems of European regions came together to present their joint research and innovation strategy to accelerate transitions and remain competitive in the face of increased international competition.
